Gamified NFTs are on the rise; it’s where the look of your NFT is influenced by owner interaction like the original #AGENT1 NFTs and OG:Crystals. COOL PETS, which is the recent series released by the creators of COOL CATS, takes this approach, where owners can earn $MILK and purchase mystery boxes that contain items which will influence how their COOL PET evolves. All items can also be traded in the marketplace so owners can purchase what they want for their PET. All PETS start as an Egg and evolve into their final form, which represents one of four elements: Grass, Fire, Water, or Air. A total of 17 million different and unique combinations of attributes is possible.
Chris Hackett, CEO of COOL CATS says that COOL PET owners are purchasing a one-of-a-kind work of art that’s also their way into a genuinely entertaining game, where they’re directing each interaction of a novel and differentiated NFT experience,”
The COOL PETS series of 19,999 NFTs were released last week, but not without a slew of delays due to BOT attacks. Mint price was 0.5 ETH but many owners paid over 1ETH in gas fees, drawing debate on the gas wars that happen when popular projects are released.
